Fields Landing Post Office burglarized

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is looking for two suspects who stole at least three packages from the Fields Landing Post Office.

Sheriff's Office Lt. Wayne Hanson said an employee flagged down a deputy Tuesday at 7:53 a.m. on the 6000 block of Fields Landing Drive when she saw a couple opening packages that were on the ground.

"She thought it was odd, and then noticed that an interior window had been broken out," Hanson said. "The broken window is the one in the room where you get mail that separates the public from employees and should only be open during business hours."

Hanson said the employee told the deputy after checking that there were three packages missing, as far as she could tell.

"The victims here are the U.S. Postal Service and the victims who had their packages stolen," Hanson said.

Hanson said the post office will notify the owners of the P.O. boxes, and the U.S. Postal Inspector will receive a copy of the report.

The sheriff's office has asked anyone with information to call the office at 445-7251 or its crime tip line at 268-2539.
